WHAT ABOUT PRIVACY FOR MICHAEL SCHIAVO--IT ONLY APPLIES TO BUSH AND HIS DAUGHTER NOELLE?

"This is a very serious problem," said Noelle's father, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, in a statement issued after his daughter's arrest. "Unfortunately, substance abuse is an issue confronting many families across our nation. We ask the public and media to respect our family's privacy during this difficult time so that we can help our daughter."

Bush and his wife, Columba, issued a statement that they were "deeply saddened" by the incident involving their middle child and only daughter, Noelle, 24. They asked the media and the public to respect their privacy "during this difficult time so that we can help our daughter." ---------------Privacy is an issue we all can relate to, particularly regarding loved ones and family members. The request Gov. Bush made about his daughter is a legitimate plea for any father to make, especially in a recovery situation. But for him to jump back into the Schiavo matter in another obvious political move shreds all crediblilty he has in regards to his own personal affairs. ( He should never have been involved in the first place ) Michael Schiavo has had his privacy ripped apart by politician's and religious zealots for years now. He's been called a murderer, abuser, liar; the list goes on.

Does Jeb Bush understand any of the many reasons why the American people were so against this case in the first place? Might not privacy in personal matters be at the top of the list? Just look to your own experience Govenor Bush. Why should you be granted privacy when you refused to issue the same respect to Michael Schiavo? By making the Schiavo case your personal affair, you destroyed many other families own privacy at the hospice where Sean Hannity decided to camp out.
